I teach English and Afrikaans both with a neutral accent. I care a lot about my students and I try my best to help them as much as possible. I try and help them by sending free external resources they can have a look at in their own time. I am very talkative at times but when it comes to my students practicing the art of talking comfortably in a conversation I am very quiet.

English Coaching for Ambitious Minds Do you use English at work but sometimes struggle to find the right words, express yourself confidently or sound as natural as you'd like? I can help. I'm a CELTA-qualified English teacher from Stratford-upon-Avon, England, with 10 years' experience teaching adults and professionals worldwide and over 30 years of professional experience in recruitment, arts and culture, team building facilitation and business. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish and also speak French and Italian.

Because I've worked in professional environments myself, I understand that you don't just need "English". You need English that works for your job, your industry and your goals. I work particularly with professionals in: • Business & Leadership • Recruiters and Candidates • Creative Minds • Vertical Transport • Immigration • Psychology and personal development What are my lessons like? You do the talking. I aim for you to speak for at least 70% of every lesson, because the best way to become more confident speaking English is to actually speak it.

Experienced English / IELTS and Chinese teacher, being an overall IELTS band 8 and TEM-8 holder Chinese:Speaking of my experience in teaching Chinese, I have been giving Chinese lessons to my foreign friends and other students for 2 years. I always found it inspiring to not just teach them the language but also the deeper meaning behind the surface. And usually my students show great interests in it, which really helps them to better memorize the complex characters and idioms. For every student, I like to make a specific study plan for them according to their Chinese level as well as their personal goal. English: I also have a lot to talk about when it comes to English teaching, especially preparation course for IELST Test. I personally got a overall band 8 in my second IELST test.

CELTA and DELTA qualified IELTS teacher, Former Cambridge Speaking examiner, Russian ТРКИ examiner Hello! I’m Yuri, an English and Russian teacher from St. Petersburg with 10+ years of experience, a Linguistics degree from St. Petersburg State University, CELTA and Cambridge DELTA qualifications. I specialise in IELTS and Academic English, teach TOEFL, and prepare students for TORFL (ТРКИ) as a certified examiner. If you understand English but freeze when you speak, keep making the same mistakes, feel stuck at IELTS 6.0–6.5, or simply don’t know what to study next, I can help you turn scattered knowledge into confident, usable language. My lessons are practical and personalised. We focus on what is actually holding you back: fluency, vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, writing, exam strategy, or confidence. You won’t spend the lesson doing endless textbook exercises or listening to long lectures. You will speak, practise, get clear feedback, and leave knowing exactly what to improve next. I’ve helped hundreds of students achieve IELTS 7.0–8.5, and I have achieved IELTS Band 9.0 myself, including 9.0 in Writing and Speaking. I work with learners from beginner to advanced level. You don’t need to be “ready” or speak perfectly before booking a lesson. Come as you are, tell me your goal, and we’ll build a realistic plan to reach it.

CELTA-certified, trilingual (EN/DE/FR) English teacher and pro translator (15+years of experience) (I don't teach children, sorry! Teenagers are fine. For non-German/French speakers, I only offer conversational lessons.) Hi, I’m Josh, a CELTA-certified English teacher from the US. I am passionate about language learning and work as a professional translator at Deutsche Welle, Germany’s international broadcaster. I have completed a master’s degree in translation and interpreting (with German, French, and English) in Strasbourg, France. So I understand the challenges of learning a foreign language myself. I specialize in structured English courses for German- and French-speaking beginners. We work step by step on speaking, grammar, and vocabulary, with a special focus on pronunciation and phonetics. As I speak German and French, I can explain important differences between your language and English and help with common pronunciation problems. I also offer conversation lessons for students of all levels and language backgrounds. In my lessons, you will speak as much as possible. I will correct your pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary and explain mistakes in a clear and simple way. In my structured courses, I share my screen and take notes during the lesson for you to follow in real time. After class, I send you the notes with minor edits, so you can review everything we learned. I have a clear American accent and a strong interest in languages, grammar and pronunciation. My goal is to make English easier to understand and give you the tools you need to keep improving.

    I want to share my wonderful learning experience with Kylan. First of all, Kylan is extremely experienced in IELTS preparation. He can quickly pinpoint my weak areas and provides practical techniques and effective strategies to help me improve. Second, what I appreciate most is his inclusive and encouraging teaching style. Like many Chinese students, I used to be a typical "silent English" learner. With Kylan's patient guidance and encouragement, creating a safe space where mistakes are just part of the process. Third, Kylan is genuinely dedicated and responsible. He assigns targeted practice after every class and always gives timely, detailed feedback with clear points for improvement. Last but not least, his charismatic, humorous and easygoing, which makes for a relaxed and pleasant learning atmosphere. If you're looking for a teacher who combines real expertise with a genuinely fun learning experience, I highly recommend Kylan. Learning English with him is truly enjoyable!

    I have been taking lessons with Cynthia for a while now, and I have seen significant improvement in my speaking skills. What I appreciate most is her structured approach: she created a tailored plan to help me achieve both my fluency and examination goals. She consistently provides highly useful materials and practical tips, which is crucial for me as an exam candidate. Cynthia is always well-prepared, incredibly patient, and encouraging. She manages to strike the perfect balance in her lessons – the atmosphere is light and comfortable, yet productive and serious. During our speaking practice, she provides valuable feedback and corrections without ever interrupting my flow. I am incredibly glad to have found Cynthia. Thank you for your dedication and care! With your continued help, I am sure I will leave the language barrier far behind. Highly recommended!

    I've really enjoyed working with Ellie. I first started taking lessons with her to prepare for an important presentation in English, and she helped me gain much more confidence than I expected. She is always well prepared, encouraging, and genuinely interested in the topics we discuss. I especially appreciate that she creates a relaxed atmosphere where speaking English feels natural and mistakes are simply part of the learning process. Her feedback is clear, practical, and always helpful, and her pronunciation coaching has made a real difference for me. If you're looking for an encouraging and effective English coach, I can definitely recommend Ellie.

She also assigns weekly homework to reinforce what we have learned. Talking with her is really pleasant. She is energetic throughout the whole lesson and gives me plenty of time to express myself.

Frequently asked questions

How can I get fluent in English?

You can get fluent in English through consistent speaking practice with an English tutor who provides structured conversation and immediate feedback.

An online English tutor helps you build fluency by correcting mistakes in real time, teaching natural phrasing, and giving you regular opportunities to speak. They identify patterns holding you back and help you communicate confidently in real situations.

Most learners reach conversational fluency in 6–12 months with 3–4 English tutoring sessions per week. Your tutor can adjust lessons to focus on the speaking skills you need most.

How can I learn English online?

You can learn English online by combining lessons with an online English tutor and regular self-study practice.

Working with an English tutor online gives you personalized feedback, speaking practice, and guidance tailored to your goals. Between lessons, reinforce what you’ve learned through activities like watching shows, reading, listening to podcasts, or using language apps.

Most learners see steady progress by scheduling 2–3 sessions per week of online English tutoring and practicing for 20–30 minutes a day. Your English tutor can also recommend resources based on what you’re working on in lessons.

Are the English classes and courses suitable for beginners?

Yes, our English classes and courses are suitable for beginners. We understand that everyone has different learning levels and goals, and our experienced English teachers can adjust their teaching methods accordingly. Our beginner-level classes focus on building a strong foundation in the English language, including basic grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Our teachers use various teaching techniques such as interactive activities, games, and multimedia resources to make the learning process fun and engaging.

Additionally, our one-on-one lessons allow beginners to receive personalized attention and guidance from their teacher. Our online platform also offers flexibility, which means that beginners can choose a suitable time and pace that suits their learning needs. Whether you are starting from scratch or have some prior knowledge of English, our classes and courses are tailored to meet your needs and help you progress to the next level.

How can I develop my English speaking skills?

You can develop your English speaking skills by working with an English tutor who specializes in conversation practice.

An online English tutor helps you improve by giving you opportunities to speak in every lesson, correcting pronunciation and grammar immediately, and teaching natural expressions used in real conversations. Regular English lessons build confidence and help you respond more naturally without overthinking.

Most learners see noticeable improvement with 2–3 English tutoring sessions per week. Your tutor can tailor lessons to practice the situations you need, whether professional communication, casual conversation, or presentations.

Where can I find an English tutor?

You can find an online English tutor directly on italki’s Teacher Search page, where you’ll find over 4,000 certified English teachers for every need; whether you’re improving pronunciation, preparing for IELTS, or advancing your career.

All lessons take place online, so you can connect with an English tutor from anywhere, whether you’re at home, traveling, or between commitments. You aren’t limited to local options; you can choose from certified English teachers from all over the world, and tutors who specialize in your goals.

Use the filters to browse English tutors by price, availability, and specialization. Book a trial lesson to find the right fit, then schedule regular English lessons that suit your schedule.

Can you learn English without a tutor?

Yes, you can learn English without a tutor, but most learners progress faster when they work with an English tutor.

An English tutor helps you:

  • 🗣️ Build correct pronunciation from the start
  • ✏️ Fix pronunciation and grammar issues before they become habits
  • 📅 Stay consistent with a clear study plan
  • 💬 Get real conversation practice, which self-study can’t provide

Many learners try to study only with apps, books, or videos, but it usually takes longer because you don’t get feedback, correction, or regular conversation time.

Using a platform like italki gives you access to experienced online English tutors for one-on-one lessons. When you combine English tutoring with extra resources such as apps or podcasts, your progress stays steady and more balanced.

How do I find a good English tutor on italki ?

Finding a good English tutor on italki is easy with filters.

  1. Narrow by price, native language, availability, and specialization (conversation, grammar, exam prep).
  2. Watch intro videos to check teaching style, and read student reviews to see how others rate their lessons.
  3. Start with a trial lesson to test compatibility.

A good English teacher adapts lessons to your goals, corrects mistakes constructively, maximizes speaking practice, and tracks progress. If the first tutor isn’t a fit, try another.

Yes, italki offers English tutors who specialize in different learning needs and goals.

You’ll find English tutors for beginners, English tutors for kids, and English tutors for adults, as well as tutors who focus on conversation practice, English grammar, or specialized areas like exam preparation (IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC) and business English. Whatever your goal, there’s an English tutor for it.

How much does an English tutor cost?

English tutors on italki cost between $4 to $60 per hour, depending on the tutor’s experience and lesson format.

Many learners choose private English tutors because they provide personalized guidance, instant correction, and real conversation practice that help them progress faster than studying alone.

On italki, you have access to both community and professional tutors, making it easy to find an English tutor that matches your goals and budget. A 30-minute online English lesson typically costs between $4 and $10.

Is it worth getting an English tutor?

Yes, getting an English tutor is worth it if you want faster, noticeable progress in your English learning.

English tutoring is especially useful when you need guidance that adapts to your goals. With an online English tutor, you can focus on what matters most to you, rather than following a fixed course. An English tutor can help because:

Why should I use an English tutor to learn English with italki?

Using an English tutor on italki helps you learn the English you’ll actually use, not just textbook phrases, by focusing on real conversations, common expressions, and situations you encounter in daily life.

Your English tutor can help you practice conversation, review grammar, prepare for proficiency exams like IELTS or TOEFL, or build confidence in speaking, with lessons customized to your level and pace. They correct mistakes on the spot, suggest natural ways to phrase things, and explain cultural context, so you communicate appropriately in any situation.

All lessons are available anytime online, and most operate on a pay-as-you-go system, so you only pay for the English lessons you take. For learners looking for extra support, italki Plus also offers an optional subscription with features like AI-powered study tools, exclusive events, and discounts.

What is the difference between an italki Community tutor vs. Professional tutor?

The main difference between an italki community tutor and a professional tutor lies in their qualifications, teaching style, and focus.

Professional tutors are certified teachers with formal training. They offer structured lessons with prepared materials, covering grammar, vocabulary, and exam prep. They provide study resources and detailed feedback during online English lessons, making them ideal for beginners or students seeking systematic learning.

Community tutors, on the other hand, are native or fluent speakers without formal teaching credentials. They focus on English conversational practice, helping learners build fluency and confidence in a flexible, informal, and often more budget-friendly way.

Many learners use both: professional English tutors for foundational skills and community English tutors for speaking practice.
